Coming from another custom ROM
CLEAN FLASH (recommended)
- Load into TWRP
- Do a full wipe
- Reboot back into TWRP
- Flash Beyond ROM
DIRTY FLASH (warning)
- Dirty flash may or may not work, we cannot guarantee that flashing a ROM over the top of another ROM will not give you any issues so it is therefore not our recommended choice, but obviously it's your device so feel free to do so but please do not ask for help with problems if this causes you issues.
Updating BeyondROM to latest version
This is obviously very dependent on which version you are running, I.E if your version 1.0 jumping to 3.0, then there is a very high change that you will need to upgrade your phone to the latest FW before flashing latest BeyondROM.
Please take note of the changelog as it will say if you need to be on a certain FW version to flash this BR version or if dirty flash from previous version is ok (highly unlikely)
Where dirty flash is not possible and you do need to upgrade your FW to flash the latest these are the recommended steps.
It is assumed that you are already on BeyondROM.
- Download the latest/required version of the firmware (Samfirm/Frija etc...)
- Unzip the ROM
- Rename the files and remove the .md5 from the end of the files
- Boot phone into Download mode
- Load up Odin, turn off auto-reboot
- Insert the relevant files into their slots (BL = BL, AP=AP, CP=CP, CSC=HOME_CSC) **It's important to use HOME_CSC to keep your data intact**
- In the USERDATA slot insert your TWRP+PatchedVBMETA tar file (Device Specific)
- Start Flash
- When complete keep USB plugged in, hold Volume Down + Power, as soon as the screen goes black hold Volume Up + Power to enter TWRP
- When in TWRP, flash latest BeyondROM (select Dirty flash option)
- When complete, save logs, reboot to system
- Enjoy!
